When Luis meets Julia he experiences desire beyond his wildest imaginings, and when Julia becomes his wife it would seem Luis has achieved something approaching nirvana. This blissful contentment is abruptly cut short when Luis bride disappears with his money, and the more he looks into her past the more he realises the woman he loved was not a reality but the cunning creation of a ruthless mind. Original Sin is a slick erotic thriller, a sort of gender reversal of "Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned".
